Comment:
I object on the following grounds:
The proposals are insensitive to the existing building.
The additional floor damages the elevation in un-acceptable ways and the new circulation proposed to access the accomodation will harm the fabric and clarity of this building.
Small living spaces, poor circulation and lack of light will make this a rabbit warren of bedsits - a future slum.
The proposed velux rooflights are not appropriate in a historic building and barely acceptable in functional terms.

Kieran Gaffney
